User.Options.Advanced.EnableCheckForUpdates in com.mcneel.rhinoceros.8.plist not read to disable Automatic Updates in Rhino 8.
In Settings > Options > Advanced, I set these two settings to False and Quit/restarted Rhino:
It seems to me this is a bad idea, but that’s up to you.
I’ll leave Rhino running for a while but it looks like this is working as expected.
Setting those two settings to False has stopped all automatic updating.
I’m turning mine back on again.
thank you, John.
Due to distribution purpose the key is written to /Library/Preferences/com.mcneel.rhinoceros.8.plist via defaults command to stop automatic update in a distributed environment. But the key is not read by Rhino 8. The Option Rhino.Options.Advanced.EnableCheckForUpdate is still checked.
In Rhino 7 this works like a charm with /Library/Preferences/com.mcneel.rhinoceros.7.plist
I guess the preference list file is not read by Rhino 8 at all.
Hi -
That’s correct. Settings are now written to xml files, just as they are on the Windows version.

got it. looks like the settings now written in
~/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/8.0/settings/settings-Scheme__Default.xml
not ideal in distributed environments.
thanks a lot
